I love finding local coffee shops that open early enough for me to settle in and prepare for the day, and Mountain Coffee House was exactly what I was hoping for. I stopped in around 5:30 a.m., and it's refreshing to find a place that's not only open that early but also staffed by someone who genuinely enjoys being there. The barista greeted me with a smile, was friendly and welcoming, and made an outstanding Americano. It was incredibly smooth and one of the better Americanos I've had in a long time. I also appreciated that my drink was served in a real ceramic mug for a dine-in order--a small touch that made the experience feel warm and inviting. As someone who likes to get an early start, I was also happy to find plenty of outlets and reliable Wi-Fi, making it an ideal spot to get some work done before the day begins. Great coffee, genuine hospitality, and a cozy atmosphere made for the perfect start to my morning. I'll definitely be back the next time I'm in town. read more

3/18/26 9:15 First time there, bad 1st impression. One barista, 3 people waiting for coffee. I waited 4 minutes to get order, and another 5 before I asked for a refund. i was on the clock and waited while the Barista chatted with a friend in line talking about meeting at a bar or something on Friday. Bu the time I waited 5 minutes after the order, the same people were still waiting for their drink. A couple that came in after me got there's before I did. 9:40 by the time a left with no coffee. No,"Someone will be right with you" No apology for the wait time. She offered me a coffee instead of the Americano I paid for, then I thought I paid via card, but I paid cash. The cashier couldn't tell on his end that I paid cash. $6.50. No customer awareness. I won't be back. I hate leaving bad reviews, but this crew was awful... Really bad look for those people. I wish them the best! read more

Mountain coffeehouse has become a regular stop for us on our trips too and from Las Vegas. This place is a real hub of activity. We were there on a Sunday afternoon and the Sunday afternoon knitting club was there knitting and pearling away while they sipped delicious coffee and ate delicacies from the baked goods. We were there for the delicious turkey ciabatta sandwich. The bread is toasted and it just makes the turkey spinach and tomato covered with melted provolone so much more tasty I chatted a while with members of the knitting club while we waited for our sandwich. They're there every Sunday and they knit for people that have cancer who need hats to stay warm. It's a great community up here in Tehachapi. I was impressed with it several years ago when we held a dance recital here this coffee shop seems to be sort of a club of community activity. The only downside is it does take a while to get your order because they're busy, but that sandwich was worth waiting for, and it made the miles from Tehachapi to Mojave speed by read more

Great coffee spot hidden in Tehachapi definitely would recommend it if in the area or just driving past on the 58. The place is warm cozy and welcoming. The menu is great and the coffee is even more delicious. I have to say it's in my top two coffee places in kern county. I went with a Americano which was great! It had a smooth mellow flavor and not bitter at all. My wife went with a vanilla latte with Espresso whip cream made in house, she loved it. My daughter had a "Love Potion" sparkling dragon fruit lemonade which she loved as well. They offer food and pastries and the selection is abundant. I went with a slice of coffee cake and I really enjoyed it. Overall a great experience and great coffee, I really wish they had one in Bakersfield but I don't mind making the drive or making a quick pit stop on the way to Vegas. read more

I love this place. My friend introduced it to me a while back and I come here as often as I can. My favorite drink is the Blackberry daydream. It's desert in a cup! I have tried the spinach and feta pretzel, the regular chai and a sip of my mom's honey bunny. My husband tried the petals and cream and loved it. Honestly I can't wait to try something new here, I haven't been disappointed at all. The service is good, everyone is friendly and the place is cozy and inviting. read more

Delicious food, yummy drinks, great atmosphere and wonderful service! I do wish they were more consistent on giving grapes with every breakfast sandwich and not just doing it every so often. I thoroughly enjoy the grapes with my breakfast sandwich. read more

I'm visiting from out of the area and needed a GOOD iced coffee! A quick Yelp search lead me Mountain Coffee House. I ordered the Seraphina's Bloom. Salted honey lavender with lemon cold foam. I'm usually not a fruity coffee fan, but this particular combination is perfect! The lemon cold foam really compliments the honey lavender. My new favorite drink! I might have to drive into town every day to get this drink while I'm here! An old house has been renovated into this charming coffee shop with indoor and outdoor seating. The menu has an array of drinks and lunch options. Service with luv from the owner and baristas. Highly recommend! read more

This was our second time going and unfortunately we didn't care for our drinks, but the vibe of the coffee shop is cute. They have outdoor and indoor seating and their store hours are great, which is why we decided to go back. The cold brew had a sour aftertaste and the syrups were also not our favorite. read more

Well, this was an absolutely amazing experience. I am a coffee snob spoiled by Europe, New York and Napa Valley - best places to get a really great coffee. On the way to Sedona found that little coffee shop just about a mile away from the highway. Amazing vibes, nice little sitting area with a fire place, really good food, but the best was super friendly service and the best bone dry cappuccino I've had in years. Really, the drink was absolutely perfect. If you travel from CA to AZ, and if you need a cup of delicious coffee backed with good experience - this is a place to be. read more

Great little organic coffee shop with some delicious food items. My wife liked her white mocha and lemon pound cake. The dark roast black coffee was really good. Give it a try if in the area. read more

Had a lil breakfast date with my sister, it's a cute lil space to grab a small bite and a drink. I had a lavender latte and it was delicious. For food I had a blt, it was good but ended up being pretty messy with grease running down my hands. It was very fulfilling. We definitely enjoyed our time here and on the way out there's some flowers from another local business that you can pick a fresh bouquet. Super cute idea. read more

Cute little coffee house not far off the highway with a very welcoming, cozy modern cabin ambience. Large menu, featuring tons of coffee options as well as teas and other fun beverages. They offer a good variety of creative bagels and sandwiches, as well as fun pastries. I ordered the birdy bagel and an iced latte with vanilla and hazelnut syrup. Both were quite delicious and well executed. Staff was friendly and focused taking orders correctly. I'll definitely be returning when I am in this area again! read more

What a cute little shop! Will be stopping here every time we run through Tehachapi! The Americano's were smooth, not bitter! Great beans! The turkey ciabatta was flavorful, had the right amount of meat, cheese & pesto to the bread ratio. The grilled cheese was good, the balsamic drizzle was missing, would have just made it better.. it was good without it. Our barista was focused on completing the orders, which is great for the traveler wanting to get back on the road, not so much for the friendly idle chitchatter! It's all good! Thanks for the great Java, sandwiches & dozen eggs to go! And attached is the current menu... they don't have tot's! read more

Excellent coffee! Great options! Nice service. Cozy little place. Whenever Tehachapi stop by, you will not be disappointed.

This place is SO cute!! We came the Saturday before Mother's Day and they had a little sign that said they were understaffed and to be patient. However, they were super quick and we got our coffee and food rather quickly! So I can only imagine how fast they are when they've got everyone working :) I ordered the caramel macchiato and asked if they could make it on the sweeter side, as I like my coffee sweeter. They said no problem and made it perfect!! It was so good! After getting home to Bakersfield I found myself craving another! I also ordered the breakfast bagel with sausage. Delicious! Their sausage was so good! Slightly spicy but very juicy. My friend tried it and said it was really good too! They also had farm fresh eggs available on the counter for purchase from a farm in the area! I would absolutely be back if I'm in Tehachapi again. Love this spot! read more

11/10/2025 ~10:30am Around this time last year, we met one of the owners (or the owner's husband) of this coffee shop at another spot in Tehachapi. He was super nice and welcoming, especially since we were new to the area, and told us to check this place out. Since then, I've come by a few times and always had great experiences, friendly employees, amazing food, and good vibes all around. It's even become my go to spot to bring friends and family when they visit. Unfortunately, today's visit was really disappointing and honestly kind of embarrassing. When we walked in, we took a minute to look at the menu and decided to try something from the fall specials. As we went up to order, the employee at the register (Leah) rolled her eyes at us. My friend asked a few questions about drinks and milk alternatives, and the employee's attitude was so off-putting that my friend decided to skip the drink altogether and just order food. Watching the interaction was uncomfortable. Leah came across as annoyed and aggressive, like she didn't want to be there. When it was my turn to order, I tried to keep it quick, but after everything I said she'd respond with, "What else, guys?" in a really dismissive tone, like we were bothering her or taking too long. The food itself actually tasted really good, just like it always does, but it was hard to enjoy it after the experience we had ordering. We ended up spending around $60, and to top it off, there was a hair wrapped around the grapes that came with our food and my friend's sandwich wasn't what the menu described. I've never seen this employee before, so maybe she was having a bad day, but it completely changed the experience for us. I normally don't leave reviews, but this one really needed to be addressed because it was so different from the great service I've had here in the past. read more

Service is exceptional. I am having a grilled cheese today and we got a ham ciabata. The food is top notch. The only downside is if you don't come check it out yourself!! read more

......i normally enjoy my Sunday stops here ....my go to has always been the croissant breakfast sandwich.... never again. I would have done better at Jackin the Box... L0L!! So I guess it's hit & miss. I really want to support local ....there are many options for Coffee Houses in this town. Maybe this was a one time incident but it caught me off guard. Maybe the ownership change after the Coffee Mill name changed ....it was always great until last Sunday. Just my 2¢ read more

Great sandwiches, quick service, cute outdoor patio. Not super expensive. Very friendly staff.

Upon ordering, the employee, Leah had rolled her eyes as she came from the coffee bar area. Immediately, I felt unwelcome and uncomfortable. I asked a couple questions about the seasonal flavors and asked for oat milk which they did not have, which was okay. My friends order was even more painful to listen to as Leah's attitude was so uninterested and short. After receiving my food (a sandwich and 4 grapes for $13 lol) , I noticed the egg was some type of scrambled egg when the menu said it came with over easy egg. I asked the taller employee with curly hair if I could please get the over easy egg. She responds with "we're out of over easy eggs." Which confused me because how can you be out when you are making scrambled eggs? Unless box eggs is what is being used.. I let her know that that was not mentioned upon ordering and she responds with "What, you don't like scrambled eggs?" Which I let her know, no I don't. If I'm spending $13 on a sandwich It would've been nice to get what I had ordered or at least informed of the lack of "over easy eggs" lol Between the unwelcoming attitude from Leah and the sarcastic responses from the other employee, I won't be returning. Spent $13 to leave unsatisfied. read more

3.5 Stars Nice cozy place inside. Definitely looks like the kind of place it would be nice to just sit and read good book. As far as the coffee I had high hopes based on the reviews, but sadly, the coffee fell short of my expectations. I ordered an oat milk, shaken espresso. The shots were over extracted and a bit bitter. Possibly could've been that the beans were over roasted, but either way not what I was expecting. It's possible that some of their other drinks would be more to my liking, so I may come back another day since I'll be in town for a few days and try it out again. read more

Delicious coffee! I usually drive by Tehachapi on my way to or from Vegas without pulling over. Over the course of the last 20+ years, I may have stopped there only once or twice, but for some reason, on this trip I decided to not get my coffee at Bakersfield and do it in Tehachapi instead. After a couple of wrong turns and getting stuck at a rail road crossing waiting for a looooong freight train to by, I ended up at Kamenz Kafe. It was late in the afternoon so they were wrapping things up and there was only one other customer sitting there. I ordered my latte the way I like (no or very little foam, just hot milk!) and sat down to shoot a couple of photos for yelp. The young man who took my order was very professional and on the serious side, but he knew how to operate the espresso machine! The coffee was surprisingly delicious. So much so that I decided to sit and relax for 10 minutes, sip at my delicious coffee and look around. I can't speak for the food or other items they serve, but I loved the coffee so much so that I will make sure to stopped there again on my next trip! read more
